A mother from Dickson, Oklahoma is trying to protect her son. It’s a story every parent should pay attention to.
Sharlene Avery, a concerned parent, says the bullying has gone unnoticed for too long.
She says it went too far when a witness came forward; saying bullies at school spiked her son’s drink with Germ X.
And she says, even doctors don’t know what else.
Austin Avery was born prematurely and suffered developmental issues as a result.
Sharlene Avery says, she’s just like any other mother trying to protect her son
“I feel so bad, because it’s like I didn’t protect him. You know and I thought I was doing the right thing by sending him to school.”
Last week, when the school called Sharlene, she knew something was seriously wrong.
“We had a call from the school to come pick him up cause he was hallucinating. I just don’t understand why your child goes to school and comes home in a drunken stupor,” says Avery.
So, she put him in the car and drove to the emergency room.
That’s when doctors told her something she never imagined.
“The doctor said that it was way over the legal limit. Now, can you imagine a 14-year-old child and what kind of damage that can do to his brain?”
The hospital then notified Dickson Police and Sharlene says she immediately tried to get something done at the school, where she believes, bullies had spiked her son’s drink.
“One of the little kids had told us, Ma’am they have been poisoning him since January.’ And we were like, are you serious? All I can do is just ask why?’
So for now, this mother and her son are just waiting.
But she says, she’s afraid of what could happen next.
“What everybody doesn’t understand it’s my child today, but it could be their child tomorrow. And if this stuff is not stopped, somebody’s going to die. Because my child almost died.”
